Summary
In this episode, host Phil Tower welcomes Rev. Peter Jonker of LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church. Rev. Jonker gave us an inside look at the vital work being done through the Partners in Ministry initiative. The positive impact this collaboration has had in just its first winter season is impressive, but there is much more to come. While the doors at the Westminster location may be closed for the season, the mission to find a permanent, larger home by 2028 is already in motion. If you’d like to learn more about how this partnership is serving our downtown community, or if you want to find out how you can support their efforts before they reopen this coming November, you can visit the LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church website
